11. An "ice calorimeter" can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal.
Suppose you heat a 50.0 gram piece of an unknown metal to 99.8 °C and then drop it onto
ice. When the metal's temperature has dropped to 0.0 °C, it is found that 3.54 grams of ice
had melted. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?
Assume no heat lost to the surroundings: Heat released by metal = Heat absorbed by ICE
%3D
Heat absorbed by ICE = mAHfus ; Heat released by metal = -mcAT
6.
qice + qmetal = 0 = (3.54 g)(333 J/g) + (50.0 g)(Cmetal)(0.0°C – 99.8°C)
%3D
%3D
0 = 1178.82 J – (4990 g °C)Cmetal → Cmetal = 0.236 J/(g °C)
